Benefits of technology

The present invention is a blanket that can be used to cover child carrying devices such as strollers, child seats, and infant carriages. The blanket provides protection for the child from cold, sun, wind, and rain while also being securely attached to the carrying device. The blanket can also be used as a cover for a nursing woman, providing privacy and warmth for the infant while breastfeeding. The blanket incorporates reflective materials for enhanced safety and visibility in the dark hours. The adjustable straps can be attached to the carrying device or the handle / frame, providing protection for the occupant from the external environment. The invention also provides a circular hole for the nursing woman to put her head through, simultaneously providing privacy and warmth for the infant. Overall, the invention provides a convenient and effective solution for protecting and covering child carrying devices.

Problems solved by technology

Baby blankets that are used to wrap and cover a small child in a carrying device, such as a stroller or car seat, are often displaced by the child due to kicking or slipping off due to gravity and movement of the carrying device, wind or other external factors, resulting in soiled or lost blankets.
However, the blankets that are used without any attachment to the mother can be easily blown off, or even pulled off from a nursing mother who is trying to nurse the baby without exposing herself or the child to the surrounding environment.
However, it is difficult to adjust this cover with one hand while holding a child with the other hand.
Also, the strap and D-Ring design can slip, negating their purpose.
And, having to carry both a baby blanket and a nursing cover adds to the load a caregiver must travel with and increases the chances of losing or damaging such items.
Furthermore, such covers cannot be used as a nursing cover.
